Mouffetard Sympa, Paris apartment

05ème - Quartier Latin, Paris

Buzzing and bohemian, literary and left-leaning, the Latin Quarter is still for travellers who think out of the box. The centre of literary Paris, the Quartier Latin owes its name to the language of the Sorbonne University rather than any Hispanic influences.

That’s not to say you won’t find some sizzling social life along with countless ethnic restaurants, hip student dives and an endless array of second hand bookshops. So raise a glass along with the locals – Voltaire would be proud.
